sick of silence

I am tired of this silence
Tired of the pit in my stomach when I am told to sit down
I am a woman, I can't speak
My mouth is at the mercy of man
My tongue is to move at his command
My lips too soft for harsh words
DONT YOU DARE TELL ME TO HOLD MY TONGUE
Don't you DARE silence my words with my gender
Don't you DARE call yourself superior because you can piss on a wall.
I refuse to sit down
No longer will I be quietedy
You are wrong
My words will ring in the ears of every male
My words will haunt their nights
My words will prove you wrong
